I want to first of all thank Kat for alerting me to this project of Ted’s I hadn’t known was coming up. So thank you Kat. I have the screencaps of Ted’s scenes in this telefilm that aired this past weekend on the Lifetime Channel. Here Ted played copyright attorney Charles Benton who became the unwilling subject of Kate Mansi’s affections. Kate played the part of Abigail Devereaux DiMera on Days of our Lives where Ted’s GENERAL HOSPITALTamara Braun played the parts of Ava Vitali and Taylor Walker. Small world. I was going to make the caps in medium quality, much like what is in the gallery of Ted’s television work, however, I thought I’d leave them in HQ for those of you who want to do any fanart.

I also wanted to let you know I’m going to be giving the site a much needed facelift with a new layout and some additions to the gallery. Unfortunately my life has sort of been a little hodgepodge of late. My mother died in May of last year and in the months since I’ve been sort of trying to find myself. I’ve also been trying to figure out my online world and where it goes from here. Thank you for sticking by me here and for continuing to enjoy Ted’s work.

I know a lot of you likely have already seen this on other websites, but I thought I’d post it here anyway.

Ted King Ready to Return to General Hospital

Lorenzo Alcazar helped Carly deliver baby Morgan when she went into labor. But he wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows. He was bad. Very bad. His twin brother, Luis was even worse. In 2002 Luis Alcazar came to Port Charles with one main goal, to be responsible for the demise of Sonny Corinthos.

Luis Alcazar has a laundry list of criminal offenses which include but aren’t limited to the following: Keeping the beautiful Brenda Barrett captive for about 4 years, convincing her that she was mentally ill. All the while he was drugging her. He caused the death of Alexis’ sister Kristina by blowing up Sonny’s house. Alcazar also tried to kill Zander Smith when he threw him overboard… There are many more heinous crimes where those came from which ultimately led to his death. Alexis killed Luis in self defense by pushing him off a balcony.

In 2003, Ted King returned to GH as Luis’ brother, Lorenzo Alcazar. He played this role until 2007 and left quite a mark throughout his time in Port Charles. Lorenzo was a lot like his brother when it came to his reason to be in Port Charles. He wanted to take Sonny down and would stop at nothing until that happened. Lorenzo was responsible for kidnapping Sonny, sleeping with Carly, kidnapped Spinelli and Lulu and ordered a hit on them, kidnapped Sonny’s sister, Courtney, and the list goes on…

General Hospital spoilers reveal that Ted King tells sources that he is ready to return to General Hospital. After accepting a role on One Life to Live as Tea Delgado’s brother, Tomas, the show was prematurely canceled and Ted King was out of a job. On coming back to GH as Alcazar, King tells a source, “There’s a lot to work out logistically. They teased the audience about a year ago with bringing him on, but that’s up to Head Writer, Ron Carlivati and Executive Producer, Frank Valentini. I certainly know that those guys are creative enough to figure it out.”

Could Lorenzo come back to Port Charles after being shot and killed by Sonny’s hit-man Jason Morgan in 2007? Stranger things have happened in this town. Would you like to see Ted King return to General Hospital, bringing his character Lorenzo Alcazar back to Port Charles? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section!

Could be. Apparently with all the talk of Tomas with the return of Blair (Kassie DePavia) to GH, he might be. According to Maria Ciaccia at About.com, Ted will be returning to the soap for a short time. There is talk that Frank Valentini and Ron Carlivati are waiting for Ted’s deal with Prospect Park to end in January to sign him. Why does the deal have to end with Prospect Park? When contracts were being negotiated at the time ONE LIFE TO LIVE was supposed to be going online, Ted and several other OLTL stars had already signed with them and therefore technically they still belong to Prospect Park. There’s a bit of a problem there. If this is the case with Ted and Prospect Park then why are both Kassie DePavia and Florencia Lozano (Tea) appearing on GH? Curiouser and curiouser. Below is the actual posting from Ciaccia. Let’s hear your speculations on how Ted might return to GH. And is is Tomas Delgado or Lorenzo Alcazar or both?

Ted King to Appear on ‘GH’

Ted King (Lorenzo/Luis Alcazar) will be back on General Hospital as Blair’s fiancee, Tomas.

Needless to say, both Skye and Carly will be plenty surprised when they lay eyes on him.

Does anyone know the Ted’s actual airdates since 22 June on? I’ve been out of the loop for a while due to some personal and other extraneous issues and really need to know when Ted was on. I’m trying to get the updates done but don’t know any of his airdates since the above date.

On other issue, for those wishing to view a possible blind item on Ted, please go to TED BLIND ITEM READ HERE. It’s a message board I’ve set up on my Tamara Braun site. I’ve added a section for Ted if you want to discuss. One thing though, I’ve had to heavily moderate who joins due to an impressive amount of spammers who seem to want to post about their penis enlargers, Asian porn sites and or minutae. So I’m going to have to do it this way so that only valid signups get through. So here’s what you have to do, use the CONTACT FORM on my Tamara site. Please cite what username you’ve signed up under in the comments section. Tell me perhaps who you are and why you love Ted otherwise I might not approve your subscription to the message board.

Once again I know I’m late to the game. Been very tired this week and with a lot of errands to run. Also with Ted being on every day, it’s been a little difficult to keep up. But the stuff is here. I will make a comment below on Ted’s scenes this weekI also have an addition to the press section, which I’m hoping this weekend to get a little bit more caught up. I have a ton to add and no time to do it. The other reason these were so late, for the past week the station I watch the show on at two in the afternoon, kept putting up storm warnings over the show. At one point right over Ted’s face. I had to re-record two programs this week later at four due to this.

Hasn’t Ted been amazing this week? I’m sad the white shirt is gone. But I’m loving Ted as Tomas. I’m hoping he isn’t the one responsible for offing Marty (Susan Haskell). That would so offend me. I’m sick of seeing women being written as nutjobs who when they go off their nuts, they kidnap babies. Sparks of unoriginal writing. There were other ways to usher Marty off the canvas short of having her become unhinged. I know this was supposed to be a post about Ted, but I digressed. My woman power wanted a voice. Now back to the truly superficial. Dammit to Todd (Trevor St. John) for calling Tomas before he had the chance to seal the deal with Blair (Kassie DePaiva). Damn him to hell. I wanted another Ted shirtless scene and to see him have full out animal sex. We haven’t been treated to that since, if I recall correctly, his steamy scenes on GENERAL HOSPITAL with Tamara Braun as Lorenzo and Carly.

Just to add, I’ve been reading on various soap message boards Ted may be on his way out early. I’ve mostly been reading this on Soap Central‘s OLTL board and reiterrated on the ABC.GO board for the show. I’m not sure how accurate these rumors are, but nothing would surprise me at this point. Now I want to repeat this is just a rumor, not fact.

More news of Ted’s iminent return to the role of Lorenzo Alcazar to GENERAL HOSPITAL. On the heels of the departure of Rick Hearst (Ric Lansing) comes news that Ted has been spotted in the building, spurring rumors of his return. Soap Central has the article here:

My own personal opinion: I think Ted would be nutty to return. With Rick Hearst being dropped down to recurring considering his tenure then eventual leaving (he’s since signed with The Bold and the Beautiful), and that Ric Lansing was never allowed a storyline outside of being Sonny’s brother, I’m reminded of something Ted said in one of his exit interviews with Soap Opera Weekly:

“I don’t think so, to be honest with you. I really don’t. Because there have been times where there’s a storyline there for a couple of months, something different, and they it always goes back to my role being opposite Sonny. There’s never an opportunity for my character to just go off and set up his own thing in Port Charles. Sonny doesn’t have to be an issue, but he always is. And really, what’s the reason? Sonny didn’t kill his brother (Luis Alcazar), Sonny didn’t kill his son (Diego), and Sonny didn’t kill his niece (Sage). He lost three people in this town, and Sonny didn’t kill any of them. Yet he’s always angry at Sonny. It doesn’t make any sense to me. At some point, I’ve got to go…. I had to take a long, hard look at what I’m doing on the show, and I did. I need to get out. This is not making me happy.”

I think the operative word in all of this is Sonny. Would Lorenzo actually be allowed a story outside of Sonny and Jason? Likely not. Given that Jason carried out the hit on Lorenzo at Sonny’s insistence, it’s more than likely Lorenzo would come back with a huge chip on his shoulder for Sonny and Jason, hence, back into the fire. Considering too that Ted just came off a successful run on PRISON BREAK, I seriously doubt that GENERAL HOSPITAL is the only offer Ted’s received. Consideration #2, that Robert Guza Jr. is incapable of crafting an intricate story not including Jason or Sonny and that he as well as Jill Farren Phelps, and Brian “BS” Frons give the hook to get the actor to sign/re-sign, then lie and do the turnabout (can anyone say Groundbreaking Lesbian Love Story), I’d pretty much say the writing in on the wall way before Ted would be signing on the dotted line.

The above is solely my take on the current state of affairs on daytime television and bear no relation to Ted or any of his decisions.
